I suspect there was basically no way to get tea between consecutive panels (the queues at the bars were too long for that, really), but I was more thinking I could have got tea in the sessions when I wasn't going to a panel. Though I could probably have nipped back to the Ibis then anyway, if I'd actually thought.

I think I also felt more at home than at Nine Worlds - most of my SFF consumption is books rather than film/TV (and I don't do games/anime at all) and Nine Worlds definitely skews very young.
